Badenoch is a raging bigot out to scare and divide communities.
Grooming gangs are vastly more likely to be white men targeting white, lower income girls. There has already been a Home Office inquiry to this.

The Tory leader has called for a new national inquiry into grooming gangs that looks at two cultural issues - of the perpetrators and the "culture of silence".

One of the greatest joys of books is recommending a favourite book to someone and watching them love every page. In this case, my partner with Voyage of the Damned by Frances White 💕 He finished it during coffee breaks and bedtimes between sightseeing in Oxford.

Is it the flu or have I just fucked my body over so thoroughly for having dared to have a city break that it is going to alternate between exhausted, nauseous and headachy? #justdisabledthings

Your reminder that the under-use of our courtrooms - at a time of record trial backlogs - is deliberate government policy.
It began under the last government, and continues under this one.
Because criminal justice only matters when there’s a cheap tabloid headline to be won.

📈Today, 14 January 2025, 109 out of the 516 Crown courtrooms in England & Wales will not be sitting.
That's 21% of them.

I wish I was here to offer some Monday wisdom, but I'm not. I'm just here to shout out again, that I'm looking for work.
I'm an experienced writer, researcher, project manager, facilitator and more. No I don't tick a neat box, but hopefully that appeals to someone somewhere.

Always have an excellent time with PPP at Wolves Lit Fest! M’colleague and I can’t wait to be back at the Arena 🎩🪖⚔️✨
Our penultimate (we think that means 'fourth') show of the day is Date Night. This is an improv show. We had so much fun when these good folk last did Fringe for us, we had to ask them back!

Pulled some tarot this morning and had the lovely message to stay the course. It's gonna be hard and tiring, but keep your hands on those reins in a firm, even grip and push on forward.

Just read the sweetest dedication about a man who "died as he would have wished - reading a book in his rooms at Trinity a few hours after dinner."

Bustled into my first supervisor meeting saying, "Sorry, I'm a few minutes early!" To which the reply was, "Actually you're quite a few minutes late."
Turns out the meeting was at 1, not half 1...

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
